So this is in response to a 365 request from a friend and loyal workshop attendee, Robin Milne, who in noticing my love for the spiro spline effect sent me a crazy image of an object that had hundreds of beautiful squiggly spiro like lines. I have no idea what the object is, and in a way, I prefer not to, as it’s beautiful as simply an object.<\/p>\n

Spiro monster from Robin Milne<\/p><\/div>\n

So at any rate, I decided I was going to go back to an old standby theme, the Sun, especially in celebration of the Spring Equinox. I took Robin’s image, I brought it into Inkscape, bitmap traced it, duped and rotated it a few times, changing the color each time. Then I added a central ellipse to make it clearly a sun, finally working into all of it with the calligraphy tool.\u00a0 I built a sunset styled gradient in the background, and painted in a landscape below. For a final touch, I added a candy coating effect to the sun. I enjoyed making it, and I thank Robin for caring enough to send an image, and you for caring enough to stop by. Happy spring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
